The last Presidential Debate sparked a lot of interest in folks as to how big the American military actually is. Just our aircraft carriers alone, LOL!

What's funny is that these carriers are all money pits now. They cost a lot to maintain, and can never be sold second-hand. Because selling them would 'strengthen the enemy' -- whoever that would be at the time. It's like buying a new car, and knowing that when you drive off the lot the first time, it depreciates to exactly $0. ROI is nonexistent, and in the grand scheme of things wildly negative.

Considering america has lost 3 wars in a row, in vietnam, iraq and afghanistan, I think you got be careful what you say. America got a really good sucker punch, but after that it has severe logistical issues in a long term struggle.

Still only prepared to fight the USSR:

1. Massive troop movements (US has that shit on lockdown)2. Global nuclear war (the US could sterilize the whole world in 15 minutes)3. ...4. Profit?

It's because CIA knows how imperative to humankind it is that USA remain superior to all other nations on earth.

Superior in fire power? Certainly.

It is the only republic in the world with a constitution that ensures freedom to such an extent.

And it is like every other country on earth, in that the powers that be flaunt that constitution whenever it suits then.

People may complain about USA but no other nation can compare. Disarmed, poor, socialized and spiritually broken as they have all become.

Call me silly, but I'm not moving there any time soon. I don't care if I'm offered a job there again.

USA on the other hand have stood up through time and pushed against all these liberal transnational ideas that inherently means subordination and repression.

Yes, because the US (a federation of 50 states, each with their own constitution) is wildly different from the EU (a federation of 27 states, each with their own constitution). Not that I am in favor of transnationalism, but they are virtually identical. We have Greece that we need to get rid of, you have Texas wanting to secede.

not exactly wars that one can claim a true victor. Not gonna argue Viet but

operation iraqi freedom as well as desert storm were victorys in days, and the camels even had over a decade to prepare for round 2. The aftermath was not as optimal post iraqi freedom. But fuck, if the ragheads are offing each other at record rates, how was america or even the world supposed to know they would start to saw eachothers heads off? thats on them...

Maybe some of that "defense" spending should have gone to better intel then?

They didnt really lose those wars.

Kill ratios were far far in America's favour and they could have levelled each of those countries if they wanted to. They reached the capitals of both Iraq and Afghanistan and brought down the former regimes. That is a big smack in the face of any country. If China captured Washington and installed their own leader I'm pretty sure they would "win."

As for the US carrier fleet, old news. The days of Superpowers fighting each other though is over, so those carriers will only see action near third world unstable shitholes.
